• ^ 1st thing I said, but she is thinking of buying a cheap PC laptop, when I say cheap, I mean a really basic entry level one... that's all she could afford at the moment, so I am thinking even a little speed bump that could buy her another 6 - 12 months to save up is a good job well done.

    Any suggestion on cheap SSD? I had a look on Amazon and couldn't find that really cheap Chinese brand of like 250GB or thereabout for like £50... a mate bought 1 last year... that would be ideal for her considering the age of the laptop. Don't see any reason to stick a nice Sandisk or Samsung in it...

    We have a lot of 4GB and 8GB RAM sets at work laying about when I swapped them for 16GB, worth putitng 2x2GB on?

  • Samsung 840/850 Evo is a good reliable SSD from my own experience, on an old mac though, there is no point in putting in an SSD with huge transfer rates, as the old interface simply can't handle it.
